La lune était sereineQuand sur le boulevard,Je vis poindre SosthèneQui me dit : Cher Oscar !D'ou viens-tu,
vieille branche ?Moi,
je lui répondis :C'est aujourd'hui dimanche,Et c'est demain lundi ...{Refrain:}Je cherche fortune,Autour du Chat Noir,Au clair de la lune,A Montmartre !Je cherche fortune ;Autour du Chat Noir,Au clair de la lune,A Montmartre,
le soir.La lune était moins claire,Lorsque je rencontraiMademoiselle ClaireA qui je murmurai :Comment vas-tu,
la belle ?- Et Vous ?
- Très bien,
merci.- A propos,
me dit-elle,Que cherchez-vous,
ici ?{Refrain}La lune était plus sombre,En haut les chats braillaient,Quand j'aperçus,
dans l'ombre,Deux grands yeux qui brillaient.Une voix de rogommeMe cria : Nom d'un chien !Je vous y prends,
jeune homme,Que faites-vous ?
- Moi...
rien...{Refrain}La lune était obscure,Quand on me transbordaDans une préfecture,Où l'on me demanda :Etes-vous journaliste,Peintre,
sculpteur,
rentier,Poète ou pianiste ?
...Quel est votre métier ?{Refrain}
